Giedrė Rimkūnaitė-Manke: AI Hallucinations and Legal Challenges | Blind Spot #25

SUMMARY

In this episode, Artūras Jonkus speaks with attorney Giedrė Rimkūnaitė-Manke about a rapidly emerging challenge: what happens when artificial intelligence starts shaping narratives about people and organisations, while the accuracy of that information is not always guaranteed.

The conversation focuses on three highly relevant areas. First, reputation management—how to respond when AI systems generate inaccurate or outdated information, which legal remedies are genuinely effective today, and where the grey zones begin when responsibility is diffused across algorithms and platforms.

The second part addresses data protection, with particular attention to the EU “right to be forgotten.” The discussion explores what it actually means to make a model “forget,” how this principle works in practice, and whether individuals can realistically prove that an AI platform is spreading false information about them.

The third segment examines intellectual property. The speakers discuss the rights of creators and organisations when their content is used to train AI systems without explicit consent, how transparency standards may evolve, and which legal disputes are likely to emerge next.

Overall, this is a highly practical conversation for anyone seeking to understand how to manage reputation, personal data, and intellectual property in the age of AI—and what concrete steps are worth taking now.
